Hey guys! So I may have gotten kind of deep again... oops? Anyways, I hope you guys like this poem. I was inspired by Requiem For The Living by Dan Forrest to write this week's post. If you haven't heard this song yet, go check it out. It's beautiful and very empowering. As always, stay nerdy!--Little Snake

​In the end, we don’t know…What happens next,What comes after.Some people thinkOf white clouds andPearly gates.Others say nothing,There is nothing afterThat endless,Bottomless voidWe call death.But life, oh life;That fickle entity,That ending dream.To ebb and flowAlong its currents --It’s ever-changing tide,Bringing us forward through time.This is a treasure thatSo many of usTake for granted!We float and wait,For something,Anything, to happen.Others stand,Hard as a rockAt the beginning,Never taking thatFirst step intoThe great unknown!They're afraid of what?Failing is is justThe first step;The first step you’veBeen hesitant to take.After that there isSo many more stepsTo take.Trying again,Succeeding,And then you’re offTo find some new,Amazing adventure!We all haveThe ability toTake that first step.We just need toFind it, within ourselves,To take a chance.So I ask,Who will step upAnd take it with me?

There are many, many things I could say about this poem, Little Snake. What I will say is that this is an /amazing/ piece of writing that I've been rereading, finding something new to take from it each time. This is a fantastic poem, and I hope others get as much out of it as I have :) Bye now!
-Little Lion
